Manchester United visit Tottenham Hotspur in the League Cup quarter-final tonight.
The Red Devils returned to winning ways last weekend with a stunning turnaround at the Etihad Stadium.
United looked on course for a 1-0 defeat against Manchester City in the Premier League before two late goals in the space of just 115 seconds.
The victory should be a huge confidence booster for United ahead of tonight’s clash.
Formation: 3-4-2-1
Andre Onana has been United’s undisputed choice in goal for the Premier League and Champions League games.
Altay Bayindir has started the last two League Cup ties, but manager Ruben Amorim could go with Onana, given the importance of the fixture.
Harry Maguire will likely make way for Leny Yoro on the right side of the back three. Yoro has been impressive since his debut and should get another opportunity alongside Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez.
Noussair Mazraoui has recovered from a minor knock and should start at right-wing-back. Diogo Dalot has struggled on the opposite flank and Tyrell Malacia could get the nod over him.
Kobbie Mainoo is poised to partner Manuel Ugarte in midfield. He had a solid outing after replacing the injured Mason Mount in the Manchester derby.
Bruno Fernandes played higher up the pitch after Mount’s injury. The captain should start as one of the attacking midfielders along with Amad Diallo.
Diallo won a penalty and scored the winner against City, and he should be brimming with confidence.
Rasmus Hojlund should be preferred over Joshua Zirkzee in attack. The Dane has scored five goals since Amorim took charge and looks set to continue as the main striker.
